writeups Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Quoted from my school newsletter: THE 8 KEY VALUES ARE: EXCELLENCE by aiming high and persevering in the face of difficulties DIVERSITY as found in our different cultures and heritages COMMUNITY AND PARTICIPATION for the common good RESPECT for themselves, for others and for human rights EQUITY which means fairness and social justice INTEGRITY which involves being honest, responsible and accountable and acting ethically. CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT (the earth and its interrelated eco-systems) INNOVATION, INQUIRY AND CURIOSITY by thinking creatively, critically and reflectively. I was wondering if anyone would like to comment on these values and if they think they should be entrenched as a part of a curriculum.

Prometheus98876 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Well firstly I would like to ask what school this is. It sounds like the sort of thing alot of New Zealand schools would put in their newsletter. Some of sounds good in theory, ie the excellence stuff. However if you consider it with the say "Community and Particapation for the common good" then you have to wonder if this school might not have contradictory principles. They do not define "the common good" it would seem. Nor what "fairness and social justice" is. If they do give some sort of hint somewhere please do share it. Both of those last two could be praticed in some rather horrible ways for all I know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
